Local Servpro franchise honored

AVON — Local entrepreneurs Jeffrey and Martina Chavis, of Servpro, of Summit, Lake, Park and Eagle counties, were recently recognized with the company’s Millionaire’s Gold award for outstanding revenue performance at the 47th annual Servpro Convention. More than 2,800 franchise owners, key staff and corporate representatives attended the convention, which was held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from June 26 through 30.

“While building a successful small business takes work and dedication, our success is also a reflection of the support and exceptional disaster remediation solutions and training we receive as a member of the Servpro franchise network,” Jeffrey Chavis said. “We are proud to accept this award on behalf of our business and our employees, and are grateful to Servpro for giving us the tools, framework and training we need to be both successful and a resource to our community when disaster strikes.”

The awards event was a highlight of this year’s convention, which was organized around the theme “All In.” The week of workshops and networking was designed to unite franchise owners, team members, distributors, associates and corporate employees.

“Servpro understands running a small business is a challenge,” said Sue Steen, CEO of Servpro Industries. “Our annual convention gives us the opportunity to recognize individual franchisees that have excelled at building their business, as well as enhancing Servpro’s reputation as an industry leader in disaster cleanup, restoration and remediation services.”
